WHAT’S NEW PC-BSD 9 Turns a New Page PC-BSD 9 Turns a New Page Since 2005, PC-BSD has striven to make BSD accessible to the desktop user. Offering a slew of improvements and added features, this release brings a more accessible BSD operating system than ever. ontinuing on the successful features of prior versions, a small barrier to new users, and power users should have like the intuitive Install Graphical User Interface no issues navigating through any of the available options. C (GUI), its PBI system and its comprehensive For ease of use, all of these desktop managers are configuration menu, PC-BSD 9 brings added functionality available for installation by simply clicking check-boxes and greater choices for its users. during installation. No additional work is required for the user. The manager of choice is automatically installed and Greater Options For The Desktop runs on the first reboot. Another great feature is that these The most obvious and significant change from prior versions managers are also available after initial installation. All you is the addition of nine new desktop managers. Since it’s need to do is open up the PC-BSD Control Panel and Run inception, PC-BSD has utilized KDE as it’s default and only the System Manager Utility. This brings up a SuperUser fully supported desktop manager. While many consider password prompt. From there you can uninstall and reinstall KDE to be the most robust managers available, there are desktop managers at will from the System Packages tab substantial numbers of users that prefer others for various and just reboot to switch to the new manager. reasons. This is very limiting and one of the great things This gives the user a high degree of control over their about running an open source operating system (OS) is the system without requiring a great deal of technical knowledge. flexibility it provides. Also, a lot open source users generally New users will need to be careful when switching to the find their desktop manager of choice and stick with it due unsupported desktop managers, as not all features are to familiarity. Others like to experiment and change things available via the UI. Even if a user does switch to a manager around. Up until recently, if you wanted to run PC-BSD, that they aren’t comfortable with, simply running the pc-controlpanel meant you were forced to use KDE. Even then, you had to command in a terminal will bring up the PC-BSD Control Panel jump through hoops to get utilize any other options and you for them to switch to another. For those willing to persevere would lose some of the functionality built into PC-BSD. with those desktop managers, the PC-BSD Wiki page outlines That is all changing in version 9.

The first four A Revamped Packaging System available desktop managers are GNOME, KDE, LXDE, One of the staples of PC-BSD is it’s Push Button Installer and XFCE.

  • Governance Structures of Free/Open Source Software Development
    Uitnodiging GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES OF FREE/OPEN 51 SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT Voor het bijwonen van de George Dafermos openbare verdediging van het Modularity theory makes a compelling argument: modular product design increases the potential number of persons that could work on a distributed project and has a positive effect proefschrift: on their labour productivity because it allows them to work independently of each other, with little or no need for central coordination. This doctoral dissertation sets out to put this argument to the test by studying a phenomenon that combines both scale and modularity: Governance Structures Free and open source software (FOSS) development. Its central question is: Does modularity mitigate the adverse effects of increasing scale in FOSS development? of Free/Open Source Software Development In exploring the effect of modularity and increasing scale on the dynamic of development of FreeBSD, a large and well-known FOSS project, over a period of fifteen years, the dissertation addresses several related empirical issues: How are FOSS projects organised? How are they governed? And most interestingly, how do they manage increasing scale? Does their ability to self-organise diminish as they grow larger, thereby necessitating hierarchical coordination? Op maandag 10 december 2012 om 15 uur precies in de Frans Source Software Development Source Software Governance Structures of Free/Open van Hasseltzaal van de Aula van de Technische Universiteit Delft, Mekelweg 5 te Delft The Next Generation Infrastructures Foundation George Dafermos represents an international consortium of knowledge institutions, market players and governmental bodies, which joined forces to cope with the challenges faced Governance Structures by today’s and tomorrow’s infrastructure systems.
